Fun Course

First time playing this course and I enjoyed it. Fairways and greens in good shape. This course is much more "desert golf" so requires much straighter hitting than others in the area, but fun to play with nice scenery and good holes. Pace of play seemed a little slow compared to others and there was a bit of construction on some holes, but not a big deal. Will play again in the next week or so.

Nice Course

This is not a very hard course, but fun to play and in great shape. Wide open fairways where you can blast a driver without worrying about trees! Easy course to walk.

When it Blows it Blows

I have played this course several times in the past and enjoyed it, but would hesitate to book anytime but the day of play because when it's windy it is really windy. I mean a two or three club difference at times. Right now the course is not in good shape relative to other options in the area. Greens are patchy in places and the rough is diabolical. A two hundred yard drive down the middle off the white tees should be findable! This course needs a few weeks and more maintenance, before I'd play it again.

Nice Course

Course was in pretty good shape with only one bad spot in a fairway that I saw. Unfortunately I can report the sand in the traps was good and played fair. Pace of play felt a little bit slow, but we finished within 4:15 and I was walking. Will play here again.

Great / Fair / Fun Course

I always have this course on my list to play when staying in Palm Desert and am never disappointed. Course was in great shape. Not sure why slope is 141 on Golf Now as it's 128 from the whites per the scorecard and that's how it plays. Will play it multiple more times before end of 2014. I'm told it's tough when it's windy, but I've only experienced a slight breeze which was pretty welcome on a hot day!

Slow for Desert

Wanted to play Rancho Mirage CC for the name. Liked the fact I was able to walk the course and found the staff very friendly. In fact they were too accommodating. One foursome arrived late for their tee time and the staff squeezed them on anyway slowing the course for the rest of us. Then the two groups in front of us were painfully slow and the staff were ineffective in speeding them up. How can you possibly come off a Par 4 and catch up to a four some on the tee of a par 5 when the par 5 fairway and green are totally open?! Sometimes the marshal just has to say pick it up and move on so everyone else can finish in daylight!

Course itself was OK with some scenic spots, although nowhere near the condition of other courses in the area. I would play other courses (for even a bit more money) before returning here.

Open Course

This course is very wide open with little trouble except for water on several holes. Easy course to walk, but only members are allowed to do so. I didn't like that. Course was in great condition although greens were a little slow. Nice driving range with unlimited balls. I would play here again although I think there is better value for money in the area.

Nice Course

This was a nicely maintained course with plenty of interesting holes. The course is walkable although there are two holes with some major distance between the green and the next tee box (I bummed a ride on a cart!). No hesitation in recommending the course and I would play it again.

Nice Course

Played The Resort course as a single on a Wednesday. Staff was very efficient at getting me matched up and off the tee, but course was painfully slow compared to my recent experiences at other local courses. I assume it was because we followed the Men's Club and I would avoid that in future. Otherwise course was very nice, played fair and had some great scenery. I walked the course easily and I'd play it again.

Nice Course / Poor Clubhouse

I enjoyed playing this course. Scenery was nice, holes played very fairly and when off the fairway you still had chance to make a shot. The clubhouse is not really up to the standard of other nearby courses and probably not a place you'd choose to hang out in after your round.

Fair and fun golf course

Indian Wells complex is very nice and the staff are super pleasant and helpful. Course was in great condition although a bit soggy in spots (we played cart path only) and the greens were probably a bit slower than later in the season. Neither of those issues bothered me at all. Very nice views and staff provided good course ambiance. Played in late November and you must tee off before noon to be confident of finishing 18 in reasonable light.
